Job offer Letter, signing the employment contract, receiving a work permit and
a work visa.

What is Job Offer
Letter:

An offer Letter or Job
offer Letter is a formal offer of employment from a company (sponsor). When a
company (sponsor) makes a verbal job offer, the hiring manager or HR department
of the company will typically call the selected applicant to let them know that
they are being offered the job.

What Details need to
be written in Job Offer Letter:

The offer letter contains
all important details of the job and an annex that summarizes the most
important aspects of the UAE Labour Law.

important details to be included are:

parties must sign the Job offer letter, it will only become valid once it
signed by both parties.

UAE LABOUR LAW about
Job Offer Letter:

As per UAE LABOUR LAW,
an offer letter made to a foreign (expatriate) worker becomes legally binding
after it is signed by both parties. An offer letter to a foreign worker signed
by both parties becomes a legal contract.

Can Company change, or
Edit Job details after worker sign:

Hence, after signing,
the employer (company) is not allowed to alter or replace any provisions of the
offer letter unless such changes have the consent of both the employer (company)
and the employee (worker), are within the scope of law and do not compromise
the rights of the employee (worker).

Do not sign until you
understood what is written:

This is company (employer)
responsibility to ensure that the employee (worker) has read the offer letter
and understood it.

If it is proved in
court that a worker (employee) did not go through the details of offer letter
before signing the ministry of labour contract, the employer (company) will be
fined 20,000 AED for submitting incorrect data to Ministry of Human Resources
and Emiratisation.

offer letter will print on Ministry Contract:

If the employee
(worker) is in the UAE, he must sign the offer letter before the employer can
seek MOHRE preliminary approval for his employment process.

Employers must
disclose the terms of the offer letter to MOHRE. A copy of the offer letter is stored
in the MOHRE database. Employees (workers) are issued work permits or visas
based on signed offer letters by candidates or selected applicants.

Signing the Ministry Contract:

The employment contract
also known as Ministry of Labour Contract is a document that need to be signed by
both the employer (company) and the employee (worker) in which the latter
undertakes to serve the company and works under company’s management against an
agreed fee paid by the employer (company).

As we have discussed
above that the employment contract should be based on the offer letter signed
by both parties (company and worker) and must be submitted to MOHRE within 14
days of the employee's (workers) arrival in the UAE based on the employment
entry permit or from the date of status change (if you are in a status which
allows you to transfer your visa; i.e. not having violated any law).
